Please Help with Vortex

[Marshmellow007]

Hello

 

First! Sorry for my English, I used Google Translate.

 

Like in the picture, I get the question every time that files are newer and whether I want to keep them or whether I want to undo them.

 

How come?

 

If I accept the change, I suddenly get the error message that mods are redundant and then they no longer work. It's not the end of the world to do this every time, but it's just a little annoying.

 

Can this be stopped somehow or how do I handle it correctly?

 

As I said, my English is terrible. Please forgive me if I post this question here without doing a lot of searching, but I can't get the whole forum translated by Google Translate.

Try Reinstalling your full mod list. Make sure you are using latest version of KCD2 extension. You should also mention which game you are using when you post so that you can be helped.

So, i'm having the same problem. I wanted to play starfield again and after updating all the mods i get the same kinda notice where all the mods are counted as redundant, and when i start the game, none work...

Hi! Yes, that's right!

I play Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

My mods are up to date, as is the Vortex app.

A new installation didn't improve things. I already tested that before asking this question.

I find it quite funny that it doesn't seem to be due to any particular mod. No matter what order I install in, it happens at some point with some mod. I'm not asked what I want to do right from the start!

The modal you posted is telling you that something (not Vortex) has modified your mod files. If you don't know what did this, pick "Revert all changes".

I do that all the time. I think I've already mentioned it.

And yes! What does something like that do? Where does it come from?

I have Vortex installed and install mods, nothing else! If something external changes my mod data, I would like to know how I can find out which mod changes something! Because I always get the full list when this message pops up. I don't just get 1-2 mods that have been changed! No! I get all the ones I've installed so far.

Please don't get me wrong! But am I expressing myself so incomprehensibly so that I get answers like that?

Please don't be mad at me, Pickysaurus, but I can still read and enter things into Google Translate, so your answer is of no help to me.

Please! I'm grateful for any help! But if you want to help, please give useful help and not translate the messages I get.

Does it happen after doing anything specific? After running the game? Running some other modding tool? etc? 

Vortex can't tell you what edited the files, as Windows doesn't keep a record of the last app to modify a file.

Yes, as I said. 

If I reinstall the mods individually, it will happen at some point. If that has happened, it will happen every time I update a mod or if I install another mod.

And there is never a message about which mod is causing this or what is causing it.

I only have Vortex as a mod manager. So I can't explain which "external" people are changing the mods. That doesn't make any sense to me! It must either have something to do with the mods, the Nexus website or the Vortex app. Otherwise it just doesn't make any sense!

[Pickysaurus]

I am not sure what would be causing it. What I would suggest you try is this.

1. On the Mods toolbar, click "Purge Mods" (this temporarily removed the mods from your game folder)
2. If the "External Changes" window comes up, revert all changes.
3. Open the Mods folder on your PC (Mods toolbar Open -> Open Game Mods folder) 
4. Delete anything in that folder.
5. On the Mods toolbar in Vortex, click "Deploy Mods". 

This will ensure that the only files in the mods folder are the ones controlled by Vortex.

I've done that now.

After I made the mods available again, the window no longer opened. Let's wait and see what happens after an update.

I'll get back to you as soon as I know more and mark your answer as the solution if that's the case!

But thanks for now!
